Eh, I wouldn't require SCCA racers to take another comp licensing test. Maybe have them on probation for the first race or two if they only recently acquired it.
The only problems with SCCA racers may be:
A. Level of contact they think is acceptable
B. Standing starts
I don't think you need to make someone go through a comp school for that. Just have a special meeting/briefing for anyone new to NASA with an outside race license.
The red flag issue is really something every race organization should go over at every driver's meeting because it comes out so rarely but if it does come out and someone f's it up the consequences could be dire. I've seen both experienced NASA and SCCA people mess it up so its not just one organization.
As far as car control, yes, technically you could survive the SCCA school without having the car control skills that you should have in Group 3 in NASA but again, we've seen plenty of people who came from the NASA ranks who had lots of offs and a few crashes when they got their licenses.
I don't know about EMRA or TCRA or any of the others though.
